January 11, 2015 Pup of the week: Prayers Needed

I have only
one New Year’s resolution for 2015.
Unfortunately it is one I have no control over: I want to do less swearing in of friends who
crossed over the River of Life this year than I did last year. But I have been inundated with prayers for
pups and parents in the first ten days of this year and the only way to make my
resolution a reality is to get even more prayers. I would gladly spend all day flying prayers
up to the Big Guy if I didn’t have to swear in any pups or parents this
year. So what we need is prayers. Lots and lots of prayers. Especially for the following pups and
parents.

I don’t know
how many of my DS friends remember Jake the Shih Tzu. He has not been very active on the site
lately but his Mom is a good friend of ours on The Facebook. She recently took sick and the doctors began
to run all sorts of tests on her and the results were very troubling. She has a tumor on her spine and is starting
chemotherapy. She has a very long and
difficult road in front of her and is going to need every single prayer and
good thought so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Just as a parent should never outlive a child
a dog should never outlive a parent. If
you would like to send her a card you can send Bentley or Pokey a PM for the
address.

Speaking of
Pokey he is going to be 14 this year and he is slowing down like all older dogs
do and needs some prayers to keep the old legs and heart pumping. And his Mom has had more healthy problems
than the population of a small Polynesian island. Back problems, arm problems, leg
problems. If it supports weight and
bends it is causing her pain. Please
says prayers for many more healthy days for Pokey and for his Mom’s pain to
ease so she can live the normal life that has eluded her for so long.

We have been
asking for prayers for Nigel for some time now as he still is suffering from a
bad heart so please keep them going.
This past week his Dad David spent several days in the hospital with
terrible back pain and a high fever that baffled his doctors. Nigel’s poor Mom was nurse maid to her
husband then running home to be nurse maid to Nigel. As of this writing Nigel’s Dad is back
home. The doctors have determined he has
a viral infection of unknown origin and both he and Nigel need some prayers to
get, and stay healthy.

Another pup
with heart problems is Paco our friend from Italy. Each time he goes to the vet we receive news
that his heart is growing weaker. But
Paco is a fighter who desperately wants to stay with his Mom, especially at
this time when her own Mom is very ill and needs our prayers. So please included sweet Paco and his
Grandmom in your prayers.

Our friend
Max’s grandmom needs some prayers for good health too. Some of you may remember her as Ladybug’s
Mom. We aren’t sure of her specific
medical issues but we know they are serious and any help she can get will be
greatly appreciated.

Our friends
Chelsea and Ashton’s Mom took a fall on the stairs this week. She is from Texas and as you know everything
is bigger in Texas so it must have been a bad fall. Please send prayers her way.

Our good
friend, the Triple T’s Mom, Aunt Linda, is trying to take positive steps to
improve her health by stopping smoking.
This is one of the most difficult tests a human can undergo. She’s determined to make it but she is going
to need lots of positive prayers and pup energy.

Also needing
prayers is Daisy Mae’s Mom who is currently quite sick and is on oxygen. We don’t know the specifics of her disease
but know that she too needs all the prayers and positing pup energy she can get
to get over this illness.

And we still
have plenty of pups in need of prayer whose parents are healthy, but very
worried about their beloved babies including Smoochy, who is still suffering
from MRSA and now has an ear infection, MacDougal and Ju Ju who are still
undergoing tests and Sandy who is recovering from a stroke. I am looking for lots of prayers for all of
them.

Please keep
the prayers coming in. I would rather be
flying prayers up the mountain for 1,000 dogs and humans than swear in a new
member of the Bridge.
